What we help solve

Stop Legal Chaos From Stalling Your Growth

Overwhelmed Founders Drowning in Legal Tasks

Legal matters start piling up, but hiring a full-time general counsel isn't viable yet. Critical decisions get delayed while you juggle legal research with running your business, creating bottlenecks that slow your momentum.

Uncoordinated Legal Support Creating Gaps

Ad hoc lawyers and law firms lack continuity or ownership of your legal strategy. Each provider works in isolation, leading to inconsistent advice, duplicated efforts, and missed opportunities for strategic legal planning.

Hidden Legal Risks Threatening Your Future

Without dedicated legal oversight, key risks around compliance, fundraising, employment, or IP can slip through the cracks. These blind spots can derail partnerships, block funding rounds, or expose you to regulatory penalties.

What we help solve

Built for Ambitious Teams Ready to Scale Strategically

Our Fractional General Counsel service is designed for forward-thinking businesses that need senior legal leadership without the overhead of building an internal legal department.

Crypto & Fintech Founders

You're navigating complex regulatory landscapes while building innovative financial products. You need legal experts who understand both traditional finance and emerging technologies to guide your compliance and growth strategies.

Fast-Growing Startups Preparing for Scale

Your company is hitting inflection points that require structured legal oversight. From Series A preparations to international expansion, you need strategic legal input across multiple workstreams without full-time hiring costs.

CEOs Managing Multiple Legal Workstreams

You're juggling compliance, corporate governance, IP protection, and commercial agreements while running day-to-day operations. You need a dedicated legal function that can prioritize and execute across all areas simultaneously.

Legal Teams Needing Senior Supplementation

Your existing legal resources are stretched thin or lack specialized expertise in fintech and Web3. You need senior-level legal professionals who can provide strategic guidance and handle complex regulatory matters.
